Crossroads (sometimes called Cross Roads) is a small place in George County, Mississippi. It's known as an "unincorporated community." This means it's not an official town or city with its own local government. Instead, it's part of the larger county.
Discovering Crossroads, Mississippi
Crossroads is a unique community located in the southeastern part of Mississippi. It's a quiet place where people live without a separate city hall or mayor.
A Look Back at Crossroads' History
Crossroads has a long history. Before George County was created, this community was actually part of Jackson County. It's interesting how county lines can change over time!
This community even had its own post office for many years. The Crossroads post office helped people send and receive mail from 1834 all the way until 1910. That's a long time for a post office to serve a community!
Where is Crossroads Located?
Crossroads is found in the beautiful state of Mississippi. It sits about 148 feet (which is about 45 meters) above sea level. This means it's not right on the coast, but a little bit inland.
